Q1: How does the adjustable foam - solution ratio (1% - 6%) impact the performance of the mobile foam unit?
A: The adjustable foam - solution ratio allows for customization based on the type of fire. A lower ratio (e.g., 1%) is suitable for lighter hydrocarbon fires, conserving foam concentrate. A higher ratio (e.g., 6%) is better for more challenging fires involving heavier hydrocarbons or polar solvents, providing a more concentrated foam solution for effective extinguishing.
Q2: Can the mobile foam unit be used in confined spaces?
A: Yes, it can be used in confined spaces. However, proper ventilation should be ensured to avoid the accumulation of foam and any potential vapors. Also, operators need to be cautious about maneuvering the unit within the limited space and ensure that the foam discharge does not create hazardous conditions.
Q3: What maintenance is required for the fire hose of the mobile foam unit?
A: Regularly inspect the fire hose for any signs of wear, such as cracks, abrasions, or leaks. After use, it should be cleaned and dried thoroughly to prevent the growth of mold or mildew. Periodically, the hose should be pressure - tested to ensure its integrity and performance.
Q4: How long does it take to refill the mobile foam unit?
A: The refill time depends on the capacity of the unit and the flow rate of the refill source. For the 120 - liter and 140 - liter units, with a suitable refill setup, it may take approximately 5 - 10 minutes, but this can vary based on the actual conditions.
Q5: Can the mobile foam unit be used in cold weather conditions?
A: It can be used in cold weather, but precautions are needed. The foam concentrate may become more viscous in low temperatures, affecting the flow and performance. It's advisable to store the unit in a heated area before use or use a foam concentrate suitable for cold temperatures. Also, check for any signs of freezing in hoses or components before operation.
Q6: What is the lifespan of the glass fiber reinforced plastics polyester body?
A: The lifespan of the glass fiber reinforced plastics polyester body is generally quite long, typically 10 - 15 years under normal use and proper maintenance. However, exposure to harsh chemicals, UV radiation, or physical damage can reduce its lifespan. Regular inspections and protection from extreme conditions can help extend its durability.
Q7: How do I clean the foam nozzle after use?
A: After use, flush the foam nozzle with clean water to remove any remaining foam concentrate. Use a soft brush to gently clean the nozzle's openings and internal parts if necessary. Ensure that all parts are dry before storage to prevent corrosion, especially for the SS304 stainless - steel and aluminum components.
Q8: Can the mobile foam unit be connected to an external water source?
A: Yes, the mobile foam unit can be connected to an external water source. This can be useful for refilling the unit or for supplementing the water supply during operation. Ensure that the external water source meets the unit's working pressure requirements and that the appropriate couplings (STORZ, NH, etc.) are used for a secure connection.
Q9: What safety features does the mobile foam unit have?
A: The mobile foam unit has a working pressure range (0.7 - 1.0MPa) to prevent over - pressurization. Additionally, the materials used for components like the nozzle (SS304 stainless steel) offer corrosion resistance and durability, reducing the risk of component failure during operation. The unit's design also likely includes features to prevent accidental discharge, such as proper valve controls.
Q10: Can the mobile foam unit be transported in a standard vehicle?
A: The mobile foam unit is designed to be mobile, but its size and weight should be considered. The PY/B120 and PY/B140 units are relatively compact, but it's best to check their dimensions and weight against the capacity of the vehicle. In many cases, they can be transported in a medium - sized van or pickup truck, but ensure proper securing during transit to prevent damage.
